Our Company

Biomimicry is the science of applying Nature’s solutions to human problems. After 3.8 billions years of trial and error, Nature has developed some incredible solutions, and many have human applications.

True to its roots, Global Biomimicry, LLC draws on over 15 years of licensing experience to address a pain point many inventors of biomimetic technologies encounter when they attempt to commercialize their IP…the only option is to start a new company from the ground up. However, many inventors don’t have the time, money, energy, patience, or risk tolerance to start a new business from scratch, so Global Biomimicry offers a viable, and profitable alternative to monetization. This allows inventors to keep doing what they love (inventing!) and existing businesses to benefit monetarily from revolutionary biomimetic technologies.

As a full-service licensing agency, we identify Win-Win-Win partnerships that financially reward both business owners and patent holders alike, and we guarantee all our technologies are sustainable so our partners can capitalize on a wellspring of positive PR.
